a recent highlight from our movement

On Wednesday, December 5th, we hosted Volunteer Odyssey at our office for their December Voluncheers event! An amazing group of volunteers helped to write our holiday cards to our supporters in 2018!

Voluncheers is a “happy hour” event organized by Volunteer Odyssey that gives volunteers an opportunity to connect with a new nonprofit while working on a short term project here in Memphis. Here are a few photos from the night with them:

We’re always looking for ways to connect with our supporters on a more personal level. At the end of the year, we like to bring back the lost art form of the handwritten card and let everyone who was a part of our movement to empower the Sudanese people know that we appreciate them! These 12 amazing volunteers came to lend a hand (and their handwriting) to help us make this happen, and to enjoy food, drinks, and conversation together too.

1. Join The Renewal. This is our family of monthly givers who never stop pushing the needle forwards. They give automatically each and every month, providing consistent support to our Sudanese partners. Renewal members who give $25+ a month also get free tickets to our two annual events!LEARN MORE »

2. Double Your Impact. When you donate to the new high school we are helping to open in Yida Refugee Camp, your gift will be matched by a small group of private donors! You can even give in honor of a loved one and send them a holiday e-card with your message of love. GIVE HERE »

3. Give The OBS Experience. If you are in the Memphis, TN area with us, we have the perfect Christmas gift you can give to a loved one! Our 7th annual Gala is coming up on March 23, 2019, and it is going to be a breathtaking experience. Discounted earlybird tickets are now on sale!
